Semen is made in the prostate. No gland-no semen.
You can produce semen without a prostate gland, but its contents will be slightly different. Semen contains fluids from the testicles, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands (Cowper's glands). Only about 25-30% of the volume of semen comes from the prostate.
The gland near the bladder that adds fluid to semen is called the prostate gland. It produces a milky fluid that contributes to semen volume and helps nourish and protect sperm.
The prostate, Cowper's gland, testicles, and seminal vesicles.
Semen is actually a mixture of secretions from seminal vesicles, prostate gland and Cowper's gland.
The prostate gland secretes about 30% of the fluid, which mixes with the fluid from the seminal vesicle and the spermatozoa. The spermatic fluid or semen is formed by the secretions of the Testes, Seminal vescicles, Prostate gland and Bulbourethral gland. The sperms are secreted by the testes which pass through the vas deferns to seminal vescicles. The seminal vescicles contibute to about 70% of semen. The prostate gland and bulbourethral gland(Cowper's gland) further contibute to form semen.
Infection of the prostate gland. Or something in your diet.
Yes
The glands that add other fluids to the sperm to make semen are located in, or near, the prostate gland. One of these is the bulbourethral gland.
The enlargement of the prostate gland interferes with a male's reproductive function in the sense that it makes it impossible for the gland to produce semen.
Fluids from the prostate gland and the Cowper's gland combine with sperm cells in the seminal vesicles to make semen.
Testicles produce sperm. The prostate gland produces the semen fluid that helps nourish sperm. See a doctor for an exam to see if your prostate gland ducts are blocked.
The liquid part of semen is primarily made up of fluids from the seminal vesicles and prostate gland. These fluids provide nutrients and protection for sperm as they travel through the reproductive tract. Additionally, small amounts of fluid from the bulbourethral glands may also be present in semen.
